Lowell Father Says His 2 Children In Ukraine Are Moving To Safer Ground
LOWELL (CBS) -- A Lowell father with two young children in Ukraine said that his kids have finally been able to move to safer ground. Sam Hy told WBZ-TV this update on Saturday.
The children are with Hy's ex-wife -- who is Ukrainian -- and who moved the children to her homeland about four years ago.
The kids were born in the United States and are US citizens.
Seven-year-old Milana and five-year-old Maksim got on board a packed train leaving Kharkiv and heading west toward Ternopil -- an area not in the path of the current Russian advance.
They've been shuttling between basements for the past 10 days with missile strikes close by.
"They don't deserve this. Very fragile and then I feel helpless," Hy told WBZ-TV on Wednesday. "I pray that they'll be okay. So far, they are okay."
